big cities or in camps in which it's very difficult to have isolation there is no water in the households and sometimes no soap else care facilities are extremely rugged mentary so we need to boost to the response capacity in those areas that's why we have asked and we mobilized all u.n. agencies that have trust with president movement a large number of n.g.o.s we mobilized all to work together and with those funds with those $2000000000.00 to make sure that we are able to. ever strong push for prevention in those vulnerable areas and at the same time to bring the equipment to that is required the ventilator staffs suits are for the the stuff to allow for contact with people packed it you've called for a global ceasefire are in conflict zones but let me give you a couple of examples in recent weeks things have been going in the opposite

direction in some of those conflicts let me ask you how worried you are about the increase in hostilities in yemen well i am even if one of the most important movements in yemen has declared that they would accept this ceasefire or that the appeal of ceasefire we have other arms movements in other parts of the world saying that they would be ready to abide by it all our special report are these and invoice everyone in the world are pushing to make sure that these it believes there is lady in the parliament the action bringing together the parties to the conflict for the ceasefire to become a reality we have he should have seen syria in yeah man in libya in very in many other parts of the world and i hope that these appeal will be heard then that people will understand that there is only one was that is necessary today it's a war against the vibes you mention libya that there was already supposed to be a humanitarian pause in libya but one side has not been respecting it general half the in recent weeks seems to have intensified his campaign what's your message to

him it's necessary to stop and i believe that in the last few days there was a clear the cookies and i was the early days even if even the day before yesterday there was a very meaningful attack but this is the moment to stop all military action these is the moment to concentrate on fighting coffee 1000 we're already seeing covert 1000 cases in garza you've been there you know it's one of the most crowded places on earth how were you supposed to self isolate if you're someone living in a place like guards. well it is extremely difficult but the same applies to the slums of big cities in different parts of the world to refugee camps it is much more difficult and that is the reason why we massively need support for those areas and we massive need to increase the capacity to respond and they all services that are so weak in those areas need to be very quickly bills that. sid ahead on
